Si, fuck me. Fuck, Si, that feels so good. Don’t stop. Si, please.
Blaine, baby, I need you to get out of my head, you’re fucking with my ability to do life properly.
“Got somethin’ you need to tell me?”
that a hickey?” Oh, fuck, you’ve got to be kidding me. I reach up, touching the spot where Blaine was sucking my throat an hour earlier, and almost facepalm at my own stupidity. How had I not realized he was marking me? I must have been too distracted by his ass taking my cock to notice.
“Silas!” she practically squeals, and I push her hand away, adjusting the collar of my jacket while glaring at Bunky. “It’s nothin’,” I say quickly. “Mmmhmm,”
“Who is she?” Mama bounces beside me and claps her hands, which makes her look so much younger than she is. “Tell me everythin’.” And here we go.
“It’s really not a big deal,” is all I say and the words make me feel like shit.
Because Blaine is very much a big deal to me now,
“So, who’s sucking marks on your neck then?”
“Come on, Si.” Mama nudges me, hanging onto my arm. “Tell me. Is she pretty? Is she nice? Did you meet her at school?” “Yeah, Si. Are they pretty? Are they nice? Did you meet them at school?”
“Didn’t I say it ain’t a big deal?”
“If it’s not a big deal, why don’t you just tell us?” Raid presses, pushing his glasses up his nose again. “Come on, Silas. We’re all dyin’ to know.”
“Need somethin’, Sheriff?” Mama asks casually, but her voice bites out like a snake.
“Oh, don’t be like that, Donna.” He gives her the widest smile he can, still coming up predatory though. He gestures around the table. “We’re all friends here.” We’re what now? I think the fuck not.
“We’ve got very different definitions of that word, Sheriff,” Mama says, keeping a firm hold on me. “We’re in the middle of dinner here. Was there somethin’ you needed?”
“I just saw you sitting over here, looking as beautiful as ever. Figured I’d come say hi.”
“The fuck you say?” I can’t help but snap, yanking out of Mama’s hold as I shoot up to stand.
“Careful, Silas. Wouldn’t want to end up like your dad now, would you?” The asshole hits me with a real smirk then.
“Honey, don’t worry. This man has nothing I want,”
“If we can even call him that.” “Oh, burn!”
“And what would you know about a man? It’s been so long since you’ve had one. I think you need a refresher,”
Fuck this. I’m pushing her hand off me, about to stand up again and show him what kind of man I am when her words stop me.
“Oh, Sheriff. A real man can satisfy a woman without bein’ there in the physical sense,”
“If you know what I mean.”
“Ew, Mama,”
The sheriff’s face turns red and his jaw ticks, clearly pissed off. “You bitc—”
“Excuse me, Sheriff,” our waitress interrupts, and he moves to the side, eyes still glued on my mama, and I can tell he wants to say more. He’s practically dying to, but in the end, he just spins around and leaves. It’s the best decision he could have made, honestly, because there wasn’t too much more I could take.
“That was sick as hell, Donna. I need you to tell people off more often,”
“Fuckin’ legendary.” “I’ve been handlin’ men like that my whole life. They stop fazin’ me after a while.”
“Don’t think I forgot about you though. I wanna know all about this girl.” I should have known it wasn’t going to be that easy. “Ma—” “Fine, fine,”
“I’ll drop it for now, but she’s on my radar. Don’t think you’re keepin’ this one to yourself.”
It’s only a matter of time before the secret’s out.
“Oh, baby. I ain’t worried about a little trouble. In fact, breakin’ and enterin’ is makin’ me so hot.”
I press my lips right under his ear, trailing my tongue down his neck to suck at the dark freckle that decorates his throat. Fuck, I’m obsessed with his beauty marks. “Then I should have taken you here ages ago.”
He goes to palm my ass, but I jump away from him, which causes him to ...

“Kane Brown? Again with you and this country shit. We need to give you a lesson on good music.”
“So, you just sit here?” he asks, sneaking his thumb under my shirt. “That’s boring as shit.” Always so grumpy, I swear. I kiss his neck, then tip his chin up at the sky. “Look.”
glittering constellations just for us—he finally gets it. His lips tip up into a wide grin, a little chuckle leaving him as he squeezes my hips. “Alright, alright. That’s pretty cool.” “Want to lay down with me?”
He turns to me and nods again before kissing the tip of my nose. “Yea...

“You just watch the stars and think?”
“No, I watch the stars and actively don’t think.”
“You know, it’s crazy how something can break you apart and ground you at the same time. I don’t know if that even makes sense.”
“There’s been somethin’ I’ve been meanin’ to ask you. Didn’t know when the right time would be.” I turn to look at him, furrowing my brows. “What?”
haven’t wanted to bring it up because I haven’t had one in a while, but now that he’s asking, I don’t see why not. Boyfriends should know— Wait, did I just refer to Silas Richards as my boyfriend? Oh, shit. “You don’t have to answer the question. I wanna know to see if I can help.”
Yeah, maybe boyfriends is the right way to describe what we are. He’s not judging me right now like he used to. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was too chicken, I’d ask him if he wanted to date officially. I just feel too vulnerable already, especially with what I’m about to tell him, but with how serious we’ve become, I think he has the right to know. “I want to tell you,”
“But I don’t want you to think I’m a freak.” “Too late— Ow! Do...

he says, his brown eyes soft as he kisses the inside of my wrist. “Is that why you do that grabby thing with your hands?” My brows furrow in confusion. “The what?”
